240Z_Master Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 That should be all water The front part... Towards the rear of the motor...that water pipe goes under the TB to the water on the backside that should go to the turbo. Please correct me if I am wrong anyone. These were just some pictures from my teardown. I hope they help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gibbon Posted July 26, 2005 Author Share Posted July 26, 2005 hmm ok the third pic probably shows it best. do you think theres anything to stop me from cutting away the pipe directly under the throttlebody? the more i look at it, i cant see why there'd be a water jacket of any sort around the throttle... surely its just a bit of piping?

240Z_Master Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 I belive it is just a bit of small piping for water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gibbon Posted July 26, 2005 Author Share Posted July 26, 2005 well if it isnt, at least theres a million replacement standard throttle bodies floating around for sale. cheers for your help, i'll haul out the grinder tomrorow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gibbon Posted July 27, 2005 Author Share Posted July 27, 2005 just confirming, yes that little pipe is all bollocks. removed it without a hitch. still only *just* clears though edit: also apparently the reason why the pipe runs under there is to help with cold starts. doesnt snow where i live so i figure i'll be ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240Z_Master Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 Kind of like the old style SU Carbs with the water running through the manifold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
